Description:

This Remington I was given for free as the owner felt bad having me wait hours to buy it off him outside a gas station not showing up or responding to my texts when I let him know I arrived the previous day.
It was really dirty but is on the way to becoming a butterfly. I had to fix some springs, clean out all the dead bugs, remove gunk so the keys move, sand down some of the keystrikers so they quit getting stuck , replace missing screws, sand down the platen, tighten the screws underneath to make the lowercase letters even with the uppercase letters.
I replaced the plastic keys with a mix of Smith Corona ones and old Remington ones. I replaced the small front green rubber with black ones with a white line through em’.
This is the one I been typing my book with at the moment.

I’m a creative individual. I recently started buying typewriters after seeing the Remington portable online. I found one but the Remington I bought was broken on arrival aka not as described with loads of problems. I just kept buying junkers to use parts from to fix my Remington and instead kept fixing the ones not meant to be fixed somehow thanks to the videos online posted by the Phoenix Typewriter. Now it’s an addiction I cannot seem to stop at the moment with an office full of typewriters. I have my fingers crossed I will use them to type a book and not just look at them.
